Netherite Armor Fix [26.xx]

Netherite Armor Fix

Netherite armor is the best armor in the game — but on Bedrock, wearing it completely breaks two of the most fun mechanics in combat: wind charge self-launching and the mace's Wind Burst enchantment. You throw a wind charge at your feet and nothing happens. You land a Wind Burst smash attack and barely leave the ground. The armor just eats it all.

Before & After test

For reference, both before and after are tested using Wind Burst III and density 5 enchanted mace, wearing a full set of netherite armor (no Blast Protection). A normal wind charge boosts you ~6 blocks, and with a simple jump before throwing it it reaches ~12 blocks — exactly how it does in vanilla without netherite armor equipped.

Before (vanilla)

After (with this addon)

So... What does it do?

This addon fixes both. Netherite armor players now get the full wind charge launch and the full Wind Burst bounce back, exactly the same as wearing any other armor on Bedrock.

What you can do with it?

• Throw a wind charge at your feet while wearing netherite armor and receive a solid upward boost just like any other armor.
• Throw one mid-jump to launch yourself even higher — great for escaping fights, reaching high ground, or setting up a mace hit from above.
• Land a Wind Burst smash attack and actually bounce back up to chain another one — Wind Burst I, II, and III launch you to the correct heights (roughly 8, 16, and 24 blocks).
• Works in water too, with a naturally lower boost just like every other armor does in vanilla Bedrock.

What About Blast Protection?

If any piece of your armor has the Blast Protection enchantment, all boosts are fully disabled — both wind charge and Wind Burst. Blast Protection is built around reducing explosion and knockback effects, so it naturally cancels the launch.

Important

• This addon does NOT remove knockback from netherite armor. You still take knockback resistance from players, explosions, and everything else exactly as normal — only the wind charge and Wind Burst self-launches are restored, nothing else is touched.

Credit to me (gsif)

The launch values were tested over 30 times to match Bedrock vanilla numbers as closely as possible. This is not copying Java Edition mechanics — every height, every boost, and every behavior is based on Bedrock's own vanilla wind charge and Wind Burst. The idea of netherite not blocking these launches comes from Java, but everything here is pure Bedrock.
